    Shadow Workflows: Bridging Scientific Practice and Formal Systems
    Talk

    ndcube is a package for facilitating generalised coordinate-aware n-dimensional astronomical data analysis.  It does this by combining data, metadata, and coordinate information into unified data objects which can be used as coordinate-aware arrays.  Its biggest point of difference with its most similar package, xarray, is its support of the World Coordinate System (WCS) framework.  WCS is...

    Shadow Workflows: Bridging Scientific Practice and Formal Systems
    Talk

    Scientific software often grows out of necessity. Researchers build scripts, notebooks, and custom tools to solve immediate problems, but these workflows can become difficult to maintain, reproduce, and support. In this talk, I will discuss how our small software team works with scientists to introduce software engineering practices without disrupting how they work.

    Rather than asking...

    Shadow Workflows: Bridging Scientific Practice and Formal Systems
    Talk

    Cloud resources already exist that enable doing science on massive datasets and computationally large problems. There is also the pressure for collaboration and replicability, which clouds are already strong with. It requires some adjustment by scientists to learn cloud tools. Early adopters are willing to self-start, but most scientists need a push to spend precious science time in training...

    Instrumentation for Data Services: Logging, Metrics, and Observatory Design
    Talk

    The ESAC Science Data Centre (ESDC) develops, hosts and operates the science archives for the majority of ESA’s Space Science Missions, covering Astronomy, Planetary Science, Heliophysics and Human Robotic Exploration (HRE). Each archive aims to maximise the scientific exploitation of its datasets while ensuring their efficient long-term preservation.

    A key performance indicator used by...
